Mr. Yan, who was celebrating the birthday, had already spoken, so Feng Yifan naturally respected the old man and took out the containers from the tray one by one and arranged them neatly.
As soon as Feng Yifan had put everything on the table, the crowd couldn't help but start crowding forward, wanting to take a look at what was on the table.
When Li Feier saw this situation, she cast a dissatisfied look at the young people on TV who were spreading the news. Seeing this, the young people lowered their heads and could only bite the bullet to block the crowd.
At this time, seeing the four containers placed on the table by Feng Yifan, the old man surnamed Yan, who was celebrating his birthday, was already very excited.
Just by looking at these four containers, the old man felt that these four dishes were definitely extraordinary.
Feng Yifan smiled and said to the old man, "Mr. Yan, please take a look at what I have prepared for you: the Four Lions of the Lotus Pond."
Next, Feng Yifan did not uncover all of them directly, but waited for the photographer to come and take pictures, and then uncovered them one by one in front of the photographer for Mr. Yan to see.
"The first red lion."
The small red porcelain cup was opened, revealing a braised lion's head with a rich and red sauce that looked very gorgeous.
Just looking at it makes one's appetite increase.
Next, Feng Yifan unveiled the second one.
"The second blue lion."
When the lotus leaves covering it are removed, underneath is a pink lion head supported by the lotus leaves. With the support of the lotus leaves, it really looks like a naughty little lion holding up the lotus leaves.
"The third yellow lion."
The lion's head itself is not yellow, but when it is stewed and served on a plate, Feng Yifan adds the golden soup of tofu and catfish lion's head, which makes the lion's head seem to be stained with a layer of golden color.
"The last white lion."
In a small white porcelain bowl, a white and tender lion head is soaked in very clear soup.
The four containers were already amazing, but now after seeing the four lion heads placed inside them, Old Yan and the people who gathered around to watch were all amazed.
Mr. Yan couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's really beautiful. I am really grateful to the store for being able to see such an exquisite lion head at my age."
Having said that, Mr. Yan not only expressed his gratitude to Feng Yifan, but also respectfully expressed his gratitude to Su Jinrong.
Su Jinrong smiled and responded, "You're welcome."
Li Feier was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses and quickly narrated to the camera: "It's really beautiful. Maybe no one has ever thought that such a small restaurant can make such a delicate lion head."
Then, Li Feier asked Feng Yifan: "Chef Feng, do you know the meaning of these four lion heads?"
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "These four lion heads are made with ingredients from the lotus pond, such as river clams, lotus roots, shrimp roe, and lotus leaves at the bottom, showing a scene of a lotus pond in early summer."
After hearing what Feng Yifan said, everyone thought about it carefully and looked at the lion head on the table. It really looked like it.
Feng Yifan said to Mr. Yan: "Su Ji uses this four-ingredient lion head dish to wish the old man good health and longevity, just like the lotus pond in early summer, which will last forever."
After hearing Feng Yifan's blessing, Mr. Yan said excitedly again: "Thank you, thank you so much."
Li Feier also nodded and said, "This is really a good blessing and a good meaning. Chef Feng, you really opened our eyes today."
Other people at the TV station also nodded. Now no one would question Su Ji. They all felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Before letting Mr. Yan and his family taste the food, Feng Yifan and the people from the TV station organized the onlookers to line up and come in one after another. They walked around the table, took a look, and were also allowed to take pictures.
After all, this was agreed by the diners. If the old man hadn't spoken, Feng Yifan would have definitely kicked them out.
Fortunately, although there seemed to be a lot of people crowded at the entrance, it didn’t take too long if you really walked around to take a look.
After looking at everything, Feng Yifan asked, "Mr. Yan, would you like me to warm it up for you? It may be a little cold now."
The old man reached out and touched it, then looked at his family members who were also taking pictures, smiled and said, "No, it's still hot, let's eat it quickly."
Then, the old man took the initiative to divide the food using the public spoon that Feng Yifan brought.
No one in the family got a share, so the old man gave some to Li Feier, and even to a few children in Su Ji Restaurant who were looking on eagerly.
Seeing the old man sharing the food with the children, Su Ruoxi couldn't help but stop him and said, "Uncle Yan, this is not good. This is for you to eat. How can you share it with the children?"
Old Yan smiled and said, "Since it's made for me and it's my birthday, of course I can share it with the children."
As he spoke, Old Yan smiled and handed the small bowls to the three little girls.
"Come on, each of you three will have a small bowl, but not too much. Have a taste, and it will also be a way to share in the joy of Grandpa's birthday."
The three little girls were still a little hesitant and turned to look at their parents.
Old Yan also looked up and said in a feigned displeasure, "What's wrong? Do you still despise me, an old man?"
The parents looked at each other, and finally Su Jinrong spoke up: "Eat it, it's okay."
Since Su Jinrong had spoken, the three little girls naturally took the small bowls happily and took a small sip each. Feng Ruoruo's father had spent a long time specially making four kinds of lion heads.
Originally, Mr. Yan might have wanted everyone in the restaurant to have a share, but there were only four lion heads, so he couldn't share it with so many people.
After eating, Feng Ruoruo quietly came to her father, reached out to pull her father to squat down, and whispered in her father's ear.
"Dad, this is delicious. You should make it for grandpa, mom, grandma, and grandpa in the future. Oh, and Feifei's grandpa and grandma, and Xixi's mom and dad."
Hearing his daughter's whisper, Feng Yifan felt relieved.
My daughter ate something delicious, so she wants to share it with everyone so that everyone can have a taste.
Because this time, except for these three kids, no one else got to taste it.
So Feng Ruoruo hopes that her grandfather, grandparents, mother, and her good friends’ grandparents, parents, can all taste the delicious dishes made by her father.
Feng Yifan smiled and nodded, hugged his daughter in his arms, and said softly: "Okay, Dad will definitely make it for everyone to taste."
After hearing her father's promise, the little girl kissed her father on the cheek, regardless of the greasy food on her mouth. After the kiss, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad."
Although his daughter's mouth was greasy and it was a little uncomfortable to kiss her cheek, Feng Yifan still smiled.
Su Ruoxi saw it and quickly pulled her daughter over: "Look at you, your mouth is full of food, and you still kiss daddy's face. Are you dirty when you are eating and kissing daddy?"
As she spoke, Su Ruoxi took out a tissue and wiped her husband's cheek.
Seeing her mother wiping her father first, the little girl pouted and said, "Mom, there's me and Ruoruo."
The crowd who were tasting the food over there saw this intimate interaction between the family of three, and they all smiled knowingly.
Yang Zhiyi couldn't help but say, "Oh, I didn't get to taste Chef Feng's delicious 'Four Lions of the Lotus Pond' tonight, but I did get to eat three mouthfuls of honey, which made me feel so full."
"Hic..."
As he was speaking, Yang Zhiyi deliberately burped, causing laughter in the restaurant.
Feng Ruoruo didn't quite understand and felt that everyone seemed to be laughing at her, so she quickly shrank into her father's arms, being shy and unwilling to come out to see anyone.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaoxi felt that her good friend was being scolded by her father again, so she rushed forward and yelled at her father: "Dad, you are not allowed to say that about Ruoruo. Look, you have made Ruoruo so sad that she is hiding in Uncle Feng's arms."
Yang Zhiyi was bullied by his little girl, and he looked really innocent: "How can I say anything to Ruoruo?"
Yang Xiaoxi still insisted: "I said, you just said that about Ruoruo, you have to apologize to Ruoruo."
There was another burst of laughter all around, and it felt that the family here was in stark contrast to the family over there.
Feng Yifan's father and daughter were so close, but here they were just like equals facing each other.
Yang Zhiyi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and looked at his wife for help.
As a result, Li Feier was very direct. She made a Su Ji closing speech to the camera, and then led everyone from the TV station to leave.
After walking out of Su Ji's gate, Li Fei'er just turned back and said, "Remember to take Xixi home. You and your daughter should go to bed early. Xixi has to go to kindergarten tomorrow."
Seeing his wife leave like this, Yang Zhiyi was completely stunned. Then he looked at his angry daughter.
Finally, Yang Zhiyi had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, Daddy is wrong, Daddy will apologize to Ruoruo."
At this time, Feng Ruoruo, encouraged by her parents, also came out of her father's arms, walked over and said shyly: "No need to apologize, I didn't cry, thank you Xixi for helping me."
Yang Zhiyi was completely speechless when he saw his daughter holding hands with her good friend. Was his father so worthless
On the other side, Chen Yaofei's eyes were filled with envy when she saw the looks of her good friend's two families.
The little girl also wanted to be like Ruoruo Xixi, to act like a spoiled child with her mother and to yell at her father. Unfortunately, the little girl only had her grandparents around her, and her parents were not around for a long time.
Chen Yaofei's grandparents also noticed that their granddaughter was in a bad mood, so they quickly took her into their arms.
Grandma said softly, "Fei Fei, don't be sad. When you go back tonight, ask Grandpa to call Mom and Dad and ask them to come back to visit Fei Fei at the end of the month, okay?"
Chen Yaofei didn't cry in her grandparents' arms, but comforted them instead: "It's okay, Feifei knows that mom and dad are busy abroad."
Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi saw Chen Yaofei's situation, and Su Ruoxi reminded the two little girls to come over and comfort her.
Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi quickly came over and held Chen Yaofei's little hand together.
Feng Ruoruo said first: "Fei Fei, don't be sad. My father was not around before, but he loved me. When he came back, he made a lot of delicious food for me. I believe your parents love you too."
Yang Xiaoxi came up with an idea directly: "Fei Fei, call your parents and make a scene with them, and ask them to come back to accompany you."
This is probably the difference between Yang Xiaoxi and the other two girls.
If Yang Xiaoxi encountered such a thing, she would definitely make a fuss and would definitely force her parents to come back and accompany her.
Yang Zhiyi actually has a deep understanding of this.
Feng Ruoruo and Chen Yaofei, who are sensible and don't make any noise, often make people feel more distressed when watching them.
The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became a little depressed because of the appearance of the little girls, and it no longer had the previous liveliness.
Seeing that this situation was not going to work, Feng Yifan immediately said, "Okay, let's not think about unhappy things. Today is Grandpa Yan's birthday. Let's sing a birthday song for him together."
After Feng Yifan's suggestion, the atmosphere in the restaurant immediately became better, and Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi pulled Chen Yaofei over together.
Then, under the leadership of Feng Yifan, the three little girls sang a birthday song for Grandpa Yan. Later, the people from the Yan family also sang along, and the atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became lively.
Mr. Yan once again expressed his gratitude to everyone: "Thank you, thank you everyone, and more importantly, thank you Su Ji, thank you Brother Su, and thank you Chef Feng. This is the most meaningful birthday I have ever had. I hope I can come to celebrate my birthday again next year, the year after, and in the future."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "You are most welcome. I hope that Mr. Yan will live forever and come to our place every year to celebrate his birthday."
The three little girls also shouted in unison: "Happy birthday, grandpa."
This birthday party really made Mr. Yan and his family very satisfied. They even offered to pay more when paying the bill. Of course, Feng Yifan did not charge more and still insisted on the prices on the menu.
After seeing off the Yan family, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei's families also prepared to leave, as it was actually quite late, almost ten o'clock.
Feng Yifan hurried to the kitchen and packed up two portions of today's coconut crispy balls and yesterday's orange cookies and brought them over.
"Okay, this is what Uncle Feng prepared specially for you today. You two can take it home and eat it."
The two little girls happily took the snacks, and all their unhappiness was dispelled by the snacks. The two little girls also came forward together and kissed Uncle Feng on each side.
Feng Yifan finally proposed to the two families: "How about this? This Saturday, my restaurant will be closed for a day, and the three of us can go on an outing with our three little babies. How do you think?"
When they heard about going on an outing, the three little girls naturally cheered.
Even Feng Ruoruo was not so greedy as to stop him from going.
However, Yang Zhiyi and Feifei's grandparents were a little hesitant after hearing this proposal, worried that closing the business would affect Su Ji's business.
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "It's okay. Our Su Ji's business will only get better if we close for a day. Don't you still believe in my ability as Chef Feng?"
Seeing Feng Yifan so confident, the two elders of the Chen family and Yang Zhiyi agreed with a smile.
Yang Zhiyi said: "Then I will ask my friends to borrow two cars. I have another one at home, which should be enough."
Feng Yifan continued, "Okay, then please ask Feifei's grandparents to buy some fruit and bring some water. As for the lunch for the picnic, I will be responsible for it. I will prepare very good lunch boxes for everyone."
Grandpa and grandma Chen naturally agreed: "Okay, we'll prepare some fruit."
After the division of labor was clearly defined, the three little girls said goodbye reluctantly. Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei left with their father and grandparents respectively.
Today's Su Ji business also ended here perfectly.
